Peter Cable, great name, is a sociopath. He killed Tom because Tom, being his co-worker, would have brought his own, Tom's that is, knowledge of Peter killing a prostitute into his workplace.
Peter Cable's main concern is that he would lose prestige in their workplace, NOT whether he had killed.
Peter Cable is a true sociopath who would have been inconvenienced by folks having knowledge of his evil acts. Peter Cable blames Bree Daniels for bringing out his homicidal personality, thus avoiding any moral responsibility for his actions.
Peter Cable's planning and execution of 3 killings is evidence that Mr. Cable is very capable of the linear, sequential thinking that is the mark of a sociopath. Mr. Cable is not delusional nor prone to magical, irrational thinking. Quite the contrary. Recall that Mr. Cable is an executive, "a man of respect" at his firm.
Cable's playing of the tape is his revenge upon Bree for Bree "making" him a killer which he finds makes him "yet not a terrible person,no more than any others." -

I like this movie a lot but I can't listen to the tape recording at the finale. It totally creeps me out and I can't deal with it. Just watching Bree's reaction to what she's hearing is enough to make me hit the mute button.

"It could be argued that most repeat murderers are all at least somewhat unhinged".
Certainly - especially considering "unhinged" is so vague a term that it might mean just about anything. Considering insanity, however it's a fact that extremely few serial killers have ever been found insane ie mentally incompetent tp stand trial.

In other words, you have no idea what you're blathering about - and your ego is so tiny and fragile that any light of education or knowledge shone upon it will send you in a fit of rabid, drooling insecurity and animalistic fear. Do up your dosage please.

Tut! Tut! Poor baby! Diddums get so terribly upset cause the obvious was pointed out to you little man. All that foam around your mouth! Best to try to keep it closed, though I know how hard it is for you.
Don't worry. Some day you will find yourself - and wish you hadn't.
